April marks National Pet Month here in the UK so NewcastleWorld readers have been sharing their furry (and not so furry) loved ones with us.
The month aims to promote responsible pet ownership, educating people on proper pet care, and highlighting the benefits of having pets.
From pugs to guinea pigs, we’ve seen a wide variety of pets on display here in the city.
Take a look through our gallery of Newcastle and the wider Tyneside area’s pets.
Have you got a story you want to share with our readers? You can now send it to us online via YourWorld at https://www.yourworld.net/submit/.
It's free to use and, once checked, your story will appear on our website and, space allowing, in our newspapers.
